3 Stars!The
blurb to Midnight Scent instantly peaked my interest. The thought of
reading through another's love letters and finding yourself falling for
them was definitely a different concept. Very alluring, but the
execution or characters seemed off. I can't put my finger on exactly
what irked me about this book, however I wasn't a fan when it was all
said and done.

We have our young college student that left a
glamourous life behind to finally be a "normal" girl. She goes to
classes, has herself a job, as well as a best friend to tell her she is
nuts for reading so much into the letters they found in thier new dorm
room. On the outs with her mother, the girl is looking for something,
which made her quite an easy target.

The letters. Those letters
came off more creepy than romantic to me. The fact that the guy was a
lunatic lept off the pages and the very reason she made contact with him
for the first time would have been the reason I would have thrown them
in the trash right off the bat. The guy was nuts and her first inkling
was to contact him? Plus, his background isn't all that pristine and
everybody on campus knows it. Including her.

He's not even a
wolf in sheep's clothing. This guy is an obvious wolf in wolf's
clothing, suckering this naive girl right into his twisted den. While we
don't get to know a whole lot about Mr. Letter Writer, we learned
enough for me not to like him at all.

The book is well written,
however didn't keep my interest. I checked out pretty early on the
college student and writer of the letters. It was a ridiculous
insta-love story, which carries on in a second book.
